Hi Team,

I was using the ES scroll mechanism for pagination.  
I found that we are getting the same/duplicate results in the subsequent scroll request made.

Could you please help us here?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome!

Are you sure you are using the same scroll id on the second call? Are you getting the same document id?

Just be clear that we are facing this issue in the multi cluster environments. With single node scroll is working as expected.
